Average Customer Ratings:
Until now, the techniques used to create great abstract paintings were surrounded by a veil of mystery. Abstract Painting: Concepts and Techniques lifts that veil to reveal the exact methods behind the masterworks. Now students and professional artists can stop guessing and start building on the techniques of the great abstract artists to create their own innovative new work. Two clear, comprehensible sections let artists focus quickly on their specific areas of interest. The first section, on Traditional Painterly Abstraction, using brush and easel, looks at pictorial space, brushwork, paint quality, and collage. The second section, on Post-Painterly Modern Abstraction, considers options ranging from the pour-and-spatter techniques of Jackson Pollock to the staining, scraping, and abrading of modern acrylic artists. Step-by-step recipes for key approaches show artists how to get the best aesthetic results, freeing them to move forward philosophically.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Very disappointed -
This book was on my wish list for quite a few months...but I am very sorry to have spent the money after receiving it! As a professional artist I like to read other artists work and techniques...well, no techniques at all here. Very poor reading material. Do not recomend at all.

Not the best book for beginners ! -
As an artist who has never worked on abstract art, this book was a difficult to navigate and comprehend. It does faithfully deal with conceptual aspects of abstract art but I was disappointed with the limited attention paid to the technique aspect. Having said that, I am sure it would be a great book for a moderate or advanced painter who have worked their way through the basic nuances of abstract art.
Conceptually Decent, But Not Much on Technique -
I bought this book to help with my abstract formulation in painting. For basic concept, it's good, but a little bit elementary for anyone with a moderate foundation in art. The interesting parts of the book are in the last 15 pages or so, but the entire book does have nice abstract imagery examples throught it. I think the authors assembled this without the end-goal in mind. Even the preface starts by discussing what a daunting task it was to assemble this many abstract pieces and make them fit together in a book. What I think they might have done better is to write the book and THEN find abstract examples of the concepts. This book tries to be all things painting, but fails to delve seriously into the subject it purports to discuss - abstract.
Extremely Helpful -
I only wish I had seen this book before I started painting. It would have saved me time and money. Lots of great creative ideas and techniques. I recommend this book to beginners, like me.

Great book! -
This is a great book! It goes into the philosophy of abstract painting, methods, materials, composition, etc. The book also emphasizes each artist's creativity. The artist's interpretation and creativity is what art is all about, and even more so with abstract art, as abstract artists aren't painting something easily recognizable (i.e. a barn). The author did a great job in this book!
